[ delayed sleep phase syndrome ]
If you're a teenager like me and often have trouble sleeping at night like I do, consider this: you most probably have a condition called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS).
I first learned about this thing when I was surfing Julia's blog for fun. It was a little weird actually, since I've been having trouble sleeping lately and thought I had semi-insomnia. It seems like this happens every summer, starting last year. I wouldn't get sleepy till around twelve AM (look at one of my previous posts) and would normally wake up at around ten. My mom gets frustrated with this, saying that she can't make three breakfasts in one day, but to me waking up late is normal. Besides, I really can't help it.
So when I serenidpitiously found the answer in Julia's blog, I was quite ecstatic. Finally, a scientific way to explain to my mom why I'm used to such a schedule. The article says most adolescents are the same way as I am. Try checking your IM buddy list. Maybe that's why your classmates are always online till after midnight - try asking. Maybe, like you, they can't fall asleep at an earlier time.
Here's a little something from Julia's blog and Wikipedia:
"Recently, however, a different picture has emerged. Independent investigators in Brazil, Japan, and the United States have suggested that the internal, biologic sleep-timing mechanism is reset along with the other changes of puberty. Adolescents’ bodies signal them to go to sleep at a later hour and also to sleep later in the morning. They are often incapable of falling asleep earlier. This phenomenon is known as Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. The syndrome usually develops in early childhood or adolescence, and sometimes disappears in adolescence or early adulthood. It is usually treatable, but cannot be cured. Often, DSPS individuals report that they cannot sleep until early morning, but they fall asleep at about the same time every night, no matter what time they go to bed. DSPS is a disorder of the body's timing system - the biological clock. It is believed to be caused by a reduced ability to reset the body's daily sleep/wake clock. Individuals with DSPS might have an unusually long circadian cycle, or might have a reduced response to the re-setting effect of light on the body clock.
People with normal circadian systems can generally fall asleep quickly at night if they did not have enough sleep the night before. Falling asleep earlier will in turn automatically advance their circadian clocks. In contrast, people with DSPS are unable to fall asleep before their usual sleep time, even if they are sleep-deprived. Research has shown that sleep deprivation does not reset the circadian clock of DSPS patients, as it does with normal people.
Among others it can be treated with chronotherapy, which consists of resetting the circadian clock by going to bed several hours later each day for several days."
So that's why most of us sleep and wake up so late. Hope you learned something from this. What I usually do is take a nap in the afternoon so I won't lack even more sleep, surf the internet till after midnight (I think my mom finally kind of understands, and lets me stay up late), and sleep through most of the morning. Therefore my eating schedule is also affected - breakfast at 11 AM, lunch at 3 PM, dinner at 8 PM, anybody? :D

[ twenty five backwards ]
Haha, so obviously I'm stuck at home again, with nothing that special to do. Den de nen. Last Saturday I started sorting books out already, and it was quite unnerving to see so many of them go. We are going to sell them in a book sale sometime this April - go nerds! - joke. Today I was flipping through a pile of children's books, our children's books, books I had loved as a kid. I remember those afternoon storytelling sessions with my mother, when my sisters and I would beg her to read the same book all over again. :'( Makes me quite sad to think.
So I said that I'm at home with nothing too special to do. But it's pretty much okay, since I'm not spending the whole day in front of the boob tube or the PC anymore. At least I ain't bored.
I obviously loved last summer. I wonder how I got through March and the first two weeks of April though? My lessons mostly started in mid-April. Oh well. Pala, pala...my cousin's coming home on Saturday! They've been in Canada for the past month - a week in Vancouver and the rest in Toronto. I can't wait to see the pictures!
I'm finally going out of the country too (though not this summer)! But still, Canada isn't enough for me. The place I'd really, really like to go to is England. Having nothing much to do today I reread beekee's May archives about her trip to London. Kakainggit ka grrr... haha joke only! I wish I could go there though. If you want to see 'em posts, click HERE.
Gotta go - my mom's calling us for dinner. Pochero? Hm.

[ summer vacationitis]
It's been only a week and two days since summer vacation but I already feel oh-so-bored. I'm online almost everyday for the whole day, I've made a couple of rounds on Blogspot already, and I've tried several things on bored.com. Still didn't work. So how do you kill it? You wish for a break, you get what you want, you wish you could do something for a change. Happens to everyone. I once came across a story on this (read: fiction) which called that kind of boredom "summer vacationitis". I don't think that's the correct term for it though. The suffix -itis, I know for a fact, means "inflammation". No, you do not get fired up when you're bored. Or do you?
The past days have all been the same. Wake up at around ten, turn the TV on, watch cartoons till lunch, turn the PC on, surf some sites for the next five hours, take a bath, get back to the PC and surf some more, turn PC off at ten PM. Then go to bed and not sleep till twelve AM due to insomnia, and wake up again at ten AM. I know I could do something about it, but I feel really lazy. I'm probably going to start working after Holy Week, around April 8. Today is March 23rd. TWO WHOLE WEEKS. No way!
So this is going to be a less productive year than last year, which was the most I've done for summer. Last year, I:
* got into a sport which for once I love, soccer;
* took swimming lessons for the second consecutive year, and did well at it;
* got to level I at Kumon Math, which is a year ahead of my high school curriculum and considered as a real achievement for me seeing as it's MATH-RELATED (!!!); and
* developed my personality through public speaking
Last summer was also when:
* I made a lot of friends and met a lot of new people;
* I got to try different cuisines;
* I learned how to not be nervous when in front of an audience;
* I lost a few pounds - finally;
* I managed to successfully follow my work-out routine for the first time since I became body-conscious (sit-ups, push-ups, weights, hahaha);
* I actually HELPED with the house chores;
* I first read Dramione fanfics and really got to liking them;
* I made this blog;
* I really planned out my school year and got through with it;
* I was actually productive;
* I attended four summer classes (see above); and
* I really LIVED and LOVED summer.
This summer, I'll be busy with:
* packing;
* sorting what to bring and not to bring;
* selling my old stuff;
* cleaning out my room; and
* throwing unnecessary trash away.
Heh, heh. Compare that with last summer and see what I mean when I say this one is boring. On the other hand...
* packing is actually fun;
* when I'm sorting my things I'll get to see all of what has accumulated through the years (i.e. memories);
* selling old stuff is doing something productive, plus it'll be awesome to have a look at who'll be buying what;
* I'll get to see what my room actually looks like;
* unnecessary trash is really unnecessary, so no big deal; and
* I'm going to get another summer in Canada anyway, and I'll have more space and time to work things out and maybe continue what I did last summer.
In the meantime...how do you kill boredom? Tell me.

[ 51st post ]
Currently: How to Touch A Girl - JoJo; Takeshi's Castle; King Kong
Today is Sunday! Hahahaha...for some reason I still think I'll be going to school tomorrow (which I'm not) and for some reason I still think we have the dreaded PE (which we don't).
So yesterday the family went out again. I felt quite weird actually and I still do. My dad was playing '70s tracks on the cassette and it made me backtrack. I don't know why I could relate to those songs, maybe because I grew up hearing them, but I could and I went to way way back in my own past. I even got to thinking I had a previous life, maybe I'm a reincarnation, maybe I'm really an old soul. Is that why I'm this way? It felt really really weird, so I stayed quiet for most of the trip. I still can't explain the feeling, but I was in a sort of dream state. You know? Like I wasn't living in reality. It was made more so by the fact that I was dizzy.
So now I'm still dizzy and am thinking of taking a pill to stop it. I feel like I'm out of focus.
Anyway, the car trip led us to U.P. Diliman (University of the Philippines, Diliman campus), where we were supposed to sell my sister's old violin. The woman, dumb as she was, didn't buy it. By the way, U.P. is not made of one building, it is scattered around a huge area. There are grass fields like the Sunken Garden and the Oval in between, and many trees. There is also the shopping complex, and residential areas, which leads me to explain my childhood.
So believe it or not, I grew up in U.P. That is where I learned to walk - I have pictures of me on our street there. We lived near the Oval, and when I was a baby my parents used to take me there to play. If you're wondering why we lived in a university campus, I'd say I don't know myself. My father is not a teacher. All I know is that he grew up in the same place I did, too.
We don't live there anymore, but we visit regularly. Usually we do it on Saturdays, to have some...bonding time with the family. I remember last year, I think it was April - yes, three days after my birthday - that we went to catch the meteor shower (we did see some). We went on top of the Observatory roof and there was a GMA news guy there who wanted to interview my mom, but she didn't agree. I wouldn't either, I wasn't dressed for the camera (hahaha feeler!).
Then we also went on October 21st, exactly six months after the meteor shower. As usual we stayed out on the Sunken Garden till around seven in the evening and did the usual stuff. So you see, I have many memories of U.P. My parents made sure I'd never forget the place I spent my first two years in.
Maybe that explains the backtracking? Maybe because it's one of the last times I'll see the place I grew up?
Weird. I still feel weird.

Okay okay, so this has been my third consecutive post, and I know it's getting a little boring, but yesterday was THE ultimate day for pictures. Unfortunately our FTP still has, er, a problem. So if you won't mind me giving you links, here they are. Most of the following pictures have me in them (duh of course I am the owner of this blog) but were all taken from my classmates' Multiply albums. Many thanks to Vigs, Adrian, Kei, and Jessa.

[ the sun burns! ]
Ang cute naman, pati sunburn pinagsamahan. Ang close talaga ng 27... :)) Yung mga stat nila kanina puro sunburn. Totoo naman eh, ang sakit! Bat kaya ngayon lang talaga tumama?
Grabe ang sophies...suki talaga ng Hillsborough! 23 - Wednesday, 27 - Thursday, 28 - Friday, 21 - Saturday. Aqua Park yun! Sa may tapat ng Hampton Court. Maganda super...click yung link ni Essell sa baba (prev post) para makita yung pool.
Alam kong may sinend nang GM si Wesly pero...
WHAT IS SUNBURN?
* Skin discoloration ranging from slightly pink to severely red or even purplish. Sunburn can appear from one to 6 hours after sun exposure and reaches its peak in 24 hours. It should then start to fade or tan.
* The skin feels hot to touch and is tender.
* The appearance of small blisters that are filled with fluid. These may itch and eventually break. This can then cause peeling of the skin, exposing an even more tender layer underneath.
* Severe sunburn may cause very red, blistered skin but will be accompanied by fever, chills, nausea (in some cases vomiting) and dehydration.
* The eyes may experience pain or irritation caused by overexposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun or solariums (always wear eye protection when using solariums).
HOW TO TREAT IT.
* Use aloe vera.
* A hot shower immediately after mild sunburn can bring about peeling sooner and rid you quickly of discomfort.
* Vitamin E, one of the antioxidants, can be taken regularly as part of a daily vitamin and mineral supplement or spread as in an ointment on sunburn. Vitamin C is another antioxidant that will help prevent severe damage from sunburn and shorten its effects. Selenium is a mineral that will help fight sunburn.
* To protect the eyes and the area around the eyes, try placing thin slices of fresh cucumber over closed eyelids when lounging in the sun. The cucumber will absorb all the ultraviolet light and keep the eyes safe and cool.
* Also, be sure to drink plenty of water, as the dangers of dehydration multiply with sunburn. It is not wise to drink alcoholic beverages, because they may increase the risk of becoming dehydrated. You may not feel like eating, but you should try to eat a little something to keep up your strength. Sunburn can be like any illness or injury depending on its severity, and your body needs nourishment to heal itself.
* If your sunburn starts peeling, it may begin to itch as well. Try not to scratch, which can cause further damage. Apply calamine lotion to alleviate itching and use plenty of moisturizer to help re-hydrate the skin.
* Taking a cool bath will also help make you more comfortable. The cool water will help lower your body temperature and reduce the heat of the skin. Soak in the water and rinse gently but do not use soap on burned areas. Soaps can remove naturally occurring oils that your body needs to heal. After bathing, dress in loose comfortable clothing and stay in out of the sun until your sunburn begins to heal. Be sure to get plenty of rest.

[ sun, tan, and summer fun ]
Hahaha ang corny nung title! Gusto ko kasi rhyme eh...ang CORNY! Check niyo na ulet yung Multi nila. Napost na siguro yung mga pics ng kahapon.
Time to go swimming! Makakabili na ulet ako nung Sunsilk Summer Fresh hahahaha. Might as well go crazy under the sun this time, baka dun kasi puro snow! Joke lang di naman siguro, pero maski na. Iba ang summer sa Pilipinas eh.
Teka muna, kwento tungkol sa Hillsborough! Suki ata yung mga taga-Bene eh. Alam ko yung 23 nung Wednesday, kami Thursday, tapos di ako sure kung ngayon (Friday) yung 28 tapos Saturday ewan ko lang. Marami kasi taga Hillsborough eh. So yung nangyari...
Dumating ako dun after 12 na, tapos sila andun nung 9 pa. Late nga eh :)) tapos pagdating ko kinwento nila muntik na daw malunod si Benedict. Laughtrip talaga. :)) So yun, pagdating ko, dirediretso sa pool! Andami ko kasi kinain nung breakfast eh.
Yun paikot ikot kami ni Roselyn, 3 feet to 10 feet. Ang saya talaga! Halos lahat kami andun except si Paolo. Wait lang nag-iikot parin ako sa Multiply. Buti nalang talaga vain ang 27 andaming pics!!!
Nagkwento pa yung iba tungkol sa nangyari bago ko dumating. Sayang pala di ako nagmaaga! Nung mga 1 PM binuksan nila yung slide... tingin dun sa taas...
Nung first time ko kasama sila Cahren, Aynna and Roselyn kabit-kabit. Sigaw ako ng sigaw hahahaha...sobrang daming beses ako nagslide nang iba-ibang style. Sosyal :)) tapos nun ikot ikot ulet, usap usap...basta hindi boring!
Then mga 4:30 nag-alisan na sa pool. Naligo na yung iba or kumain (ako pareho). Yung iba naman nagpicture picture pa. Bikini babes! Hehehe.
Habang ginagawa nila yun, naglaro kami ng patintero dun sa gitna ng kalsada. Yung mga kasali sila (team ko muna) Myka, Wesly, Adrian, Renniel - at ako shempre. :)
Yung isa pang team sila Irene, Marie, Roselyn, Isabelle, at Jessa. After a while nagsub si Julian. Nakakatuwa para kaming bata! Takbuhan, tawanan at kantahan nung theme song ng team namin..."Lucky lucky me, with Rennielly". Ang saya saya talaga, nakashorts kami, tumatakbo sa gitna ng kalsada. Buti nga walang masyadong kotse sa Hillsborough eh. Pero speaking of Hillsborough pala, ang ganda ng mga street names nila nakakaelibs. Cambridge, Oxford, Buckingham, Hampton Court and may Scarborough Park! Ang British pati nung itsura. Yung Hampton parang castle tapos ang maganda pa, grass yung nasa paligid. Ang lawak din nung street kaya walang masyadong kotse. Talagang pangmayaman. Mukhang British dun hahaha :)) ang ganda!
After nung patintero, umakyat kami sa slide kasi naka-off na yun. Tapos after a while pinaalis kami dun. Balik kami sa clubhouse, tapos nagpakavain ulet!
I'm a tad sunburned but who cares?
My hair smells like chlorine but who cares?

[ late night talk shows ]
I'm pretty sure you've watched an episode or two of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Nothing, haha. It's just that I like the ads thing where Jay shows classifieds which have somehow mutated into knee-slapping articles people love to laugh at. It's funny. Plus the guests aren't duds, either.
Today wasn't a special day, but it's been a long time since I went to ATC with my mom, my dad and my sisters. I was starting to miss our old Saturday routine (which happened only on account of my going to Kumon). So yesterday I begged my mom to take us there. And today we did.
While my parents were out booking flights at a travel agency somewhere in ATC and Arielle was at a group practice in BF Park, my other sister Nadine and I stayed at Powerbooks. Mom had left three books about Canada and I got intrigued by the cover pictures, so I picked them up and started reading. You know how I am. Well, as you might have expected from reading tour books like I did, I learned a lot about the country we're going to, and specifically about the Toronto area. There was Yonge Street, which is the longest street in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records, and the CN Tower, which was originally built for broadcasting and turned out to be a major tourist attraction. I also saw pictures of Vancouver (my cousin left yesterday and they're staying there for a week before flying to Toronto), and Nova Scotia, which is the next best place to visit if you don't have the money to go to Scotland.
CN Tower / Part of Yonge StreetIt hasn't yet become real to me that we're actually leaving. I'm supposed to expect euphoria once we get there. Then disenchantment. Then acceptance. Then something else (I can't remember what). These are the stages of when you move someplace new. I don't think I want to get disenchanted. Or homesick. Or both. I hope I don't.

[ smells like rain ]
I wish I could say it's raining in the middle of summer. But it's not. I really can not understand the weather we're having right now. At the end of January to the start of February, we had really cold, jacket-wearing weather. After a week or so it became extremely hot and you could feel summer coming.
And now it's raining?! WTF.

One of a kind and forward looking, you're the first to introduce a wacky new trend to your friends. And even if your ideas seem weird, they get adopted pretty quickly. |
| You Are New York |
Cosmopolitan and sophisticated, you enjoy the newest in food, art, and culture.
You also appreciate a good amount of grit - and very little shocks you.
You're competitive, driven, and very likely to succeed.

Hahaha ang corny nung title! Gusto ko kasi rhyme eh...ang CORNY! Check niyo na ulet yung Multi nila. Napost na siguro yung mga pics ng kahapon.
Yung isa pang team sila Irene, Marie, Roselyn, Isabelle, at Jessa. After a while nagsub si Julian. Nakakatuwa para kaming bata! Takbuhan, tawanan at kantahan nung theme song ng team namin..."Lucky lucky me, with Rennielly". Ang saya saya talaga, nakashorts kami, tumatakbo sa gitna ng kalsada. Buti nga walang masyadong kotse sa Hillsborough eh. Pero speaking of Hillsborough pala, ang ganda ng mga street names nila nakakaelibs. Cambridge, Oxford, Buckingham, Hampton Court and may Scarborough Park! Ang British pati nung itsura. Yung Hampton parang castle tapos ang maganda pa, grass yung nasa paligid. Ang lawak din nung street kaya walang masyadong kotse. Talagang pangmayaman. Mukhang British dun hahaha :)) ang ganda!
NERD!
